CumbiaSazo Kids! Picnic at La Villita Park on September 10

The CumbiaSazo family has put together another wonderful opportunity for families to gather and celebrate the joy of music, art and culture at this end-of-summer outdoor family picnic hosted at La Villita Park. In partnership with Night Out In The Parks, join the fun at the free, all ages CumbiaSazo Kids! Picnic taking place from 3-8pm on Saturday, September 10th.

LOGISTICAL STUFF:
*** Biking, Public Transpo & Walking highly encouraged!
*** No ATM on site- while some vendors accept credit, having cash on hand would be a good idea if you plan to support arts, food & face painters.
*** Picnics, blankets & pets welcome
*** Some of the playground has water sprinklers, if you want to bring towels/swimsuits for lil ones.

The day will also showcase a Vendors Market collaboration with our artist community. Many thanks to Chicago Parks for supporting.

About EL G:
Every musical genre needs it’s trojan horse. In the case of digital cumbia and digital folklore, ZZK Records has been at the epicenter of the movement. Chancha Via Circuito, Frikstailers, La Yegros, El Remolon, Mati Zundel, Tremor, Animal Chuki, Fauna, King Coya, and most recently the Ecuadorian artist Nicola Cruz have launched their careers with the indie Buenos Aires label.

El G grew out of Buenos Aires. Grant C. Dull (pronounced Duel), first came to Argentina in 1999 and reinvented himself more than once, going from musicologist and online magazine editor, to visual artist for events and finally to curator and DJ. He founded the bilingual cultural website WhatsUpBuenosAires.com, and co-founded ZZK Records and Zizek Club with his Argentine partners. ZZK artists have played more than 200 cities on 5 continents, have penned deals with major labels and been featured on an episode of Breaking Bad and a recent Iphone commercial. Grant as a DJ has performed in more than 85 cities around the world including stops at Coachella, Roskilde and the Modern Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Russia.
